uin	HL6673
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/04/2017 answer text <p>We remain focused on securing the resumption of devolved government in Northern Ireland. However in its absence it is ultimately for the UK Government to provide for political stability and good governance in Northern Ireland. If talks fail in their objectives and no agreement is reached following the Easter recess, we will have to consider a range of options. The Government has, however, been clear that when considering the options available, any form of joint authority would be incompatible with the consent principle committed to in the 1998 Belfast Agreement.</p><p> </p><p>As the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland made clear in his statement to the House of Commons on 28 March, at a minimum we would seek to bring forward legislation to set a regional rate to enable collection of the rates to go ahead, and to take steps to provide further assurance around the budget for Northern Ireland.</p> answering member printed Lord Dunlop question first answered 20/04/2017 12:23:59 answering member 4534 label Biography information for Lord Dunlop

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/11/2016 answer text <p>Staffing levels in the Police Service of Northern Ireland are a matter for the Chief Constable and PSNI’s budget is provided by the Department of Justice. However, we will always give our fullest possible backing to the men and women of the PSNI who do such a superb job. That is partly why this Government has provided specific Additional Security Funding totalling £230million in the last parliament and committed a further £160m in the current parliament.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Dunlop question first answered 07/11/2016 13:42:29 answering member 4534 label Biography information for Lord Dunlop
